Shadows lingered in the old mansion. Murderous whispers haunted unused corridors. Glimmering crystal shards lay on the floor. Eerie silence contrasted with cracking footsteps. Fingerprints stained the pristine white walls. An ominous painting watched from the attic. Secrets danced within the creaking staircase. Brief moments froze in the cenital light. Mysteries entwined with ancient family lore. Voices echoed, accusing in dark corners.
